While there are many downsides to filing for bankruptcy in Massachusetts, there are some benefits, too. First of all, before filing for bankruptcy in Massachusetts, you must attend six months of credit counseling. This wasn't required before 2005, but new bankruptcy laws were passed to help individuals manage their debts and avoid the credit score hit that bankruptcy involves. If you do file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts, all lawsuits and foreclosures against you will immediately be dropped, and you'll be able to save some of your assets from liquidation.
